Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of thermocouple protection sleeve technology, and in particular to a silicon carbide thermocouple protection sleeve. Background Technology

[0002] Potassium fluoroaluminate, a byproduct of aluminum-titanium-boron production, is highly corrosive.

[0003] In conventional aluminum alloy production, the thermocouple housings used are made of 316L stainless steel. They are usually corroded and damaged after just one furnace cycle, requiring frequent replacement of the housings. Furthermore, the thermocouples inside the protective sleeve are easily damaged. The closer the protective sleeve is to the furnace, the greater the degree of corrosion. Since traditional thermocouple protective sleeves are usually molded as a single piece, the entire protective sleeve must be replaced, which greatly increases production costs. Utility Model Content
